Last week the European Commission adopted a strategic document that defines the main features of a policy – in partnership with member states, with operators of the sector, with users and with the European Network Information Security Agency (ENISA) – to improve the security of information and communication technologies in Europe. According to the Commissioner for the information society and the media, Viviane Reding, “the risks linked to insufficient protection of networks and information are unfortunately still underestimated: it is a problem that concerns everyone, firms, private citizens and public administrations”. Trust, security, reliability, dialogue, partnership and responsibility are the six keywords of the EU strategy enunciated by the new Communication of the Executive (which can be downloaded from the website a target=’_blanck’ href=http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/doc/com2006251.pdf),http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/doc/com2006251.pdf), which Brussels is complementing with a series of public consultations (identification through radio waves, spam, cybercriminality) aimed at limiting as far as possible “threats and attacks” against European information networks.
